Chapter 246
In an instant, more than 200,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty attacked the city frantically, while the 70,000 defenders of the Chu Dynasty were also furious. The two sides were fighting hard to separate each other, and no one could restrain the other.
This battle lasted for another whole day. At the beginning, Datang had enough advantage and the city was captured. Unfortunately, the 30,000 reinforcements from Chu's Xuzhou City arrived just in time. Datang had just captured the city, and Xuzhou City The 30,000 reinforcements joined forces with the original defenders of Jingzhou City, and stunned the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and blasted them from the top of the city.
In this battle, except for Tang Yu's use of the Bagua Formation to surround and kill 30,000 soldiers of Chu, neither side gained any benefit from attacking Jingzhou City.
"Oh my god! Are Datang and the others crazy? How dare they take the initiative to attack Chu!"
"The main reason is that Da Chu went too far. Not only did he not return Jingzhou City, he also killed the envoys from the Tang Dynasty. If I were the Tang Dynasty, I would not be able to swallow this bad breath!"
"Have you heard that the champion of Da Chu, Hou Ye Yuanba, didn't get any benefits this time, and he was even injured!"
Datang sent 400,000 troops to attack Chu. After the two armies clashed head-on, the news quickly spread throughout the world.
For a time, both the royal families of various countries and the people of the world were very shocked. They never expected that Datang, whose military strength was at the bottom of the Seven Kingdoms, would actually take the initiative this time.
The two countries officially went to war, attracting the attention of the whole world.

"Meng Tian, how many people have we lost this time?"
In the evening, after the army returned to Yangzhou City, Tang Yu promptly asked about the casualties.
"What? Another three thousand fewer people?" Tang Yu suddenly shouted in shock.
Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said: "Today we first took the initiative to defeat the Chu army's long snake formation, and then deployed the Bagua formation to surround and kill 30,000 Chu troops. If it hadn't been for the timely reinforcements from General Qin Mang, I'm afraid we would have lost even more men. , destroying the Chu army of 30,000 people at the cost of 3,000 people, is already pretty good!"
"It's his grandma's fault. It seems that we can't act rashly in the future!" Tang Yu was so heartbroken that he almost couldn't breathe.
Although he destroyed 30,000 Chu troops, he lost a full 3,000 men. Tang Yu simply could not bear this result.
After all, his cavalry are all precious little ones, and if one dies, one will be lost. If he continues to reduce his number like this, I am afraid that all his cavalry will be dead before Da Chu’s reinforcements arrive.
Meng Tian nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, I think if there is no direct fighting in the past few days, it would be better for our cavalry to dispatch!"
"Yeah! Don't waste your time!"
Tang Yu really didn't expect that he would lose three thousand people in his impulsiveness. He sighed: "It would be great if this old fox like Lao Xu was here. This old guy Xu Shize is the top strategist in the world. I don't know what would happen if this old fox like Lao Xu was here. How to command!"
In this campaign against Chu, the commander of the three armies was Qin Mang, and he had to obey Qin Mang's orders when necessary.
For Tang Yu, this was full of constraints.
Suddenly, Tang Yu thought of the tip bag that Xu Shize had given him before leaving.
Tang Yu wanted to open it and see what Xu Shize had written, but when he thought that Xu Shize had solemnly told him not to open the bag until absolutely necessary, Tang Yu suppressed his curiosity.
"It would be great if there was a top counselor by my side!" Tang Yu said with emotion.
"Counselor?"
Hearing this, Meng Tian thought for a while and said: "By the way, Your Highness, it seems that there is Wolongpo not far from Yangzhou City. Wolongpo lives in a strange man of the world. I heard that this man can strategize and win against many people thousands of miles away." We have all asked him to come out, but he politely refused, and he is known as Mr. Wolong!"
"What? Mr. Wolong?" After hearing this, Tang Yu instantly became excited.
In his impression, only Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period dared to be called Mr. Wolong!
If there really is a Mr. Wolong in Wolongpo who is as powerful as Zhuge Liang, wouldn't he be prosperous?
In this era of cold weapons, a good military advisor is crucial. Tang Yu just wants to get a top advisor to advise him.
Meng Tian said seriously: "Yes, Your Highness, this person is indeed called Mr. Wolong!"
"What's his name?" Tang Yu asked with interest as he took a sip of water.
Meng Tian replied without thinking: "It seems that Mr. Wolong's name is Ma Su!"
